Isn’t that just a poltically correct sign of saying “No Black People”?? It is one thing to have signs like no tshirt and jeans, but when you have to list out such things as du-rags for a place such as yale club, it makes you wonder…

I take this to mean “No Hip-Hop.” Black or white or anything else, it doesn’t matter about race per se. The sign says “We don’t want particular culture ‘a’ in our establishment. We do, however welcome with open arms particular culture ‘b’. Thanks, and don’t come again.” I probably wouldn’t frequent such a place.

I cannot say for 100% sure but my perception is that it was an Afro-American club that did not necessarily want to be hip-hop. I know there were black frats at my college that had dress codes for their dances.

Obvious a store with style. I’m not sure we should rush to assume the sign was apimed at black folks. I’ve seen enough non black folks with due rags to last many a life time, and then some. Ivy league doesn’t decrease one’s penchant for due rags. How shallow we are in our imaginations to think so strangely.

i’ve seen a lot of black clubs with those signs. it’s just a demand to look smart, and the loose baggy clothes of hip-hop culture is too casual for clubbing these days. at least the black clubs which want to attract a well dressed stylish clientele.

going through ‘the archives’ and found this – the amazing ugly textured tape used in ample abundance is perhaps the best detail…and No Exceptions Thank You as an afterthought tacked on after the first notice was taped up…
